    Save the YAML below to a file (e.g. `dash0.yaml`)
    ```yaml
    apiVersion: odigos.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Destination
    metadata:
      name: dash0-example
      namespace: odigos-system
    spec:
      data:
        DASH0_ENDPOINT: <Dash0 OTLP gRPC Endpoint>
      destinationName: dash0
      secretRef:
        name: dash0-secret
      signals:
      - TRACES
      - METRICS
      - LOGS
      type: dash0

    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: dash0-secret
      namespace: odigos-system
    type: Opaque
    ```
